Cloverdale is set to host one of Surrey’s biggest parties of the year.

With headliners ‘80s Canadian rock legends Platinum Blonde, indie power pop icons Sloan and a host of local talent lined up to entertain the masses – along with a day that’s jam-packed with free family fun – the city’s July 1 bash is once again guaranteed to draw tens of thousands to the Cloverdale Millennium Amphitheatre at 176 Street and 64 Avenue.

Headliners Sloan take the stage at 7:30 p.m. and Mr. O Canada, Mark Donnelly, will lead the national anthem at 8:55 p.m., before making way for Platinum Blonde.

While Platinum Blonde reunited in 2010, Sloan has never disbanded. Sloan guitarists Patrick Pentland and Jay Ferguson, bassist Chris Murphy and drummer Andrew Scott have been stacking up the hits for 20 years, releasing 10 albums and spawning such power pop hits as Underwhelmed, Money City Maniacs, The Good in Everyone, and the Rest of My Life.
